Is Central Heating making you fat?

According to ne latest scientific theory, the fact that we are living with the central heating system turned up full and double-glazed windows and doors is making us fat! And if we want to lose weight, its no more complicated than just opening a window!

A recent study has suggested that the British are have become so used to wrapping up warm and cosy at home that they no longer use up the same levels of energy as previous generations would have, to ward off cold. As a result, we gain weight. When added to the time we now tend to spend indoors, either working from home or shopping on-line (instead of going out), this can be creating a big problem. If the body is warm, it does'nt need to produce its own energy and so may lose some of its ability to produce heat.

In fact, even when we do go out, it tends to be in over-heated cars, or public transport, to heated shopping malls and office blocks, exacerbating the problem. The University College, London, research team claims that there is now an identifiable link between reduced exposure to seasonal cold and increases in obesity.

A spokesman commented, "when the body is cold, it produces brown fat, known as adipose tissue, which burns energy to produce heat. The reduction in the time our bodies spend under mild thermal stress means we're burning less energy. This could affect our energy balance and, ultimately impact our body weight, leading to obesity".
